In S220, the transmitter transmits the first beam on a time-domainresource, a space-domain resource and a frequency-domain resourceaccording to the first target numerology.

In at least one embodiment, different frequency-domain numerologiesinclude at least one of: different subcarrier spacings, different basicfrequency-domain units, different frequency-domain unit patterns ordifferent subcarrier patterns. Different basic frequency-domain unitsinclude different numbers of continuous subframes. Differentfrequency-domain unit patterns are different locations occupied bymultiple basic frequency-domain units in a specific bandwidth, anddifferent subcarrier patterns are different locations and the like ofcontinuous subcarriers in the specific bandwidth.

In at least one embodiment, different time-domain numerologies includeat least one of: different subframe structures, different basictime-domain units, different TTI patterns in a unit period, differentsubframe patterns in a radio frame, different time slot patterns in asubframe, different OFDM symbol patterns in a time slot, different CPlengths or different locations occupied by reference symbols in atime-domain unit. Different basic time-domain units include differentnumbers of continuous subframes, different TTI patterns in the unitperiod are different locations occupied by TTIs in specific time,different subframe patterns are different locations occupied by thecontinuous subframes in the specific time, different time slot patternsare different locations occupied by time slots in the specific time, anddifferent OFDM symbol patterns are different locations occupied by OFDMsymbols in the specific time.

Furthermore, in a conventional art, a beam for transmitting data by atransmitter and a receiver corresponds to only one numerology. That is,a time-domain numerology and frequency-domain numerology in theconventional art are fixed as follows: a radio frame is 10 ms, a radioframe includes 10 subframes, a subframe includes two time slots, a timeslot includes 7 symbols, 12 continuous subcarriers in frequency domainand a time slot in time domain form an RB, a spacing between every twosubcarriers is 15 k, and a subcarrier in frequency domain and a symbolin time domain are called as an RE.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, there may be multiple numerologiesfor a transmitter and a receiver. That is, a first numerology and secondnumerology in the multiple numerologies may have the same time-domainnumerology but different frequency-domain numerologies, or the firstnumerology and the second numerology have the same frequency-domainnumerology but different time-domain numerologies, or the firstnumerology and the second numerology have different frequency-domainnumerologies and different time-domain numerologies, or the firstnumerology and the second numerology have different time-domainnumerologies, the same frequency-domain numerology and the samespace-domain numerology, and the like. There are no limits made theretoin the embodiment of the disclosure.

For convenient understanding, for example, each radio frame of the firstnumerology includes 5 ms, each radio frame of the second numerologyincludes 8 ms, and it may be determined that the two time-domainnumerologies are different. Each subframe of the first numerologyincludes 4 time slots, each subframe of the second numerology includes 3time slots, and it may be determined that the two time-domainnumerologies are different. Each time slot of the first numerologyincludes 12 symbols, each time slot of the second numerology includes 8symbols, and it may be determined that the two time-domain numerologiesare different. A subcarrier spacing of the first numerology is 10 k, asubcarrier spacing of the second numerology is 20 k, and it may bedetermined that the two frequency-domain numerologies are different.Each basic frequency-domain unit of the first numerology includes 15continuous subcarriers, each basic frequency-domain unit of the secondnumerology includes 8 continuous subcarriers, and it may be determinedthat the two frequency-domain numerologies are different. 10 continuoussubcarriers in frequency domain and a time slot in time domain of thefirst numerology form an RB, 8 continuous subcarriers in frequencydomain and two time slots in time domain of the second numerology forman RB, and it may be determined that the two numerologies are different.A subcarrier in frequency domain and two symbols in time domain of thefirst numerology form an RE, two subcarriers in frequency domain and asymbol in time domain of the second numerology may form an RE, and itmay be determined that the two numerologies are different.

For example, different numerologies may also be: different REs,different RBs and different Scheduling Blocks (SBs). For example, thereare 8 REs in the first numerology, there are 10 REs in the secondnumerology, and it may be determined that the first numerology isdifferent from the second numerology. An RB of the first numerologyincludes 6 REs, an RB of the second numerology includes 10 REs, and itmay be determined that the first numerology is different from the secondnumerology. An SB of the first numerology includes 20 RBs, an SB of thesecond numerology includes 15 RBs, and it may be determined that thefirst numerology is different from the second numerology. Therefore,data may be transmitted by taking different REs, RBs or SBs as dataunits in a data transmission process, and a requirement of datadiversity in a network may further be met.

In at least one embodiment, a time-frequency resource mapping manner mayalso include a time-frequency resource allocation manner. For example, atime slot of the first numerology includes 8 symbols and the first,third and eighth symbols may transmit control-plane data. A time slot ofthe second numerology includes 12 symbols and the second, ninth andtenth symbols may transmit the control-plane data.

In at least one embodiment, multiple different numerologies may bedetermined within a specific system time-frequency domain resource. Forexample, in a system bandwidth of 0˜20 Mhz, a first numerology isadopted for a beam sent in a bandwidth of 0˜10 Mhz and a secondnumerology is adopted for a beam sent in a bandwidth of 10˜20 Mhz.

It is to be understood that the abovementioned exemplary descriptions ofdifferent numerologies are made for convenient understanding only, thenumerology may be a numerology and different numerologies generated bychanging elements in any time-frequency resource numerology shall fallwithin the scope of protection of the embodiments of the disclosure.

It is to be understood that the transmitter may be a terminal device andthe receiver may be a network device or the transmitter may be a networkdevice and the receiver may be a terminal device. There are no limitsmade thereto in the embodiment of the disclosure.

It is to be understood that closed loop power calculation refers to thatthe transmitter calculates transmit power of a signal according tofeedback information sent by the receiver and open loop powercalculation refers to that the transmitter calculates transmit power ofa signal according to its own measurement information without a feedbackfrom the receiver. For example, the open loop power manner may refer tothat the terminal device is not required to receive an informationfeedback from the network device and the terminal device determinestransmit power of a pilot of the network device according to a systemmessage or estimates downlink loss by measuring power of a presentlyreceived pilot. The terminal device may approximate the downlink loss tobe uplink loss and calculate uplink transmit power according to anuplink interference signal and the like. The closed loop power mannermay refer to that the terminal device dynamically determines transmitpower of a signal of the terminal device according to received signalpower of the network device.

In at least one embodiment, the operation that the transmitterdetermines the first target numerology for transmitting the first beamof the first data from the N numerologies includes the followingactions. The transmitter determines a data type of the first data, andthe transmitter determines the first target numerology according to thedata type of the first data.

The transmitter determinesthe M numerologies according to the data type, and determines the firsttarget numerology in the M numerologies.

Furthermore, different data types may be at least one of control-planedata or user-plane data. For example, when the first data is thecontrol-plane data, a control channel may correspond to multipledifferent numerologies. When the first data is the user-plane data, aservice channel may correspond to multiple different numerologies. Ofcourse, when there are both the user-plane data and the control-planedata, the control channel corresponds to a numerology and the servicechannel corresponds to another numerology, and the control channel andthe service channel may also correspond to the same numerology. Theembodiment of the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Furthermore, data types may be defined according to different data. Forexample, data may be divided into two types, i.e., control-plane dataand user-plane data. The control-plane data may correspond to twochannels: a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and a PhysicalDownlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The user-plane data may correspond totwo channels: a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and a PhysicalUplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). For another example, for downlink data,channels may be divided according to different data types and, forexample, may be: a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), a PhysicalDownlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), a Physical Control Format IndicatorChannel (PCFICH), a PDCCH, a Physical Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest(ARQ) Indicator Channel (PHICH), a Physical Multicast Channel (PMCH), aReference Signal (RS) and a Synchronization Channel (SCH). Division ofuplink channels will not be listed herein one by one. A physical channelmay correspond to a numerology. A physical channel may also correspondto multiple numerologies. The same physical channel may correspond tomultiple different resource locations. Different numerologies may beadopted for different resource locations. Different resource locationsmay be understood to be the same in time domain and frequency domain butdifferent in space domain, may also be understood to be the same in timedomain and space domain but different in frequency domain, and mayfurther be understood to be the same in frequency domain and spacedomain but different in time domain. That is, two resource locationsdifferent in at least one of the time domain, the frequency domain orthe space domain may be defined to be different. In at least oneembodiment, different physical channels may correspond to differentnumerologies. Correspondences between channels and numerologies are notlimited in the embodiments of the disclosure.

Specifically, in an antenna technology such as Multiple-InputMultiple-Output (MIMO), beam forming processing may be performed on athird beam on a control channel to generate a first directional beam andthe like.

The transmitter transmits the second beam onthe time-domain resource, the space-domain resource and thefrequency-domain resource according to the second target numerology.

It is to be understood that the first data and the second data may bethe same data and may also be different data. That is, the first beamand the second beam may transmit the same data. Herein, the same datamay be the same service data or the same control data, different datamay be different service data or different control data, or the firstdata may be service data and the second data may be control data. Thereare no limits made thereto in the embodiments of the disclosure.

Specifically, when the transmitter is a network device and the receiveris a terminal device, the network device may transmit the beam resourceconfiguration information to the terminal device, wherein the beamresource configuration information is configured to indicate theresource locations occupied by the beams transmitting the same data. Theterminal device, when receiving the beam resource configurationinformation, may determine two different resource locations of the beamstransmitting the same data. In such a manner, combined gain calculationmay be performed on the data received at the two different resourcelocations.
